voltage regulator

[teds]

I have a 1980 porsche 911 with a 3.2 and I am trying to find the voltage regulator. All my lights go bright and dim going down the road at a steady rpm. Thanks for any info.

More likely an intermittent short in one of the 6 battery cells, if not a loose/poor/corroded connection of a battery post.

'78 had a separate VR mounted to the rear of the engine fuel filter, by '88 VR was integrated into the alternator case. Don't know when the changeover was.

My euro 83 had a seperate VR.

To the orig poster, do you have a Voltage Meter? You'll need to test the alt output.
